What once was purple, is now green. Clack! Clack! We walked out of the shed as a team, our metal cleats making an obnoxious sound with each step. We were carrying our jerseys and equipment, getting ready for a softball game. Actually, this wasn’t just any softball game, it was the first softball game since the event that changed my life forever. It was a hot, summer Monday night. The scalding hot sun was the icing on the cake, just another thing depleting the energy from our bodies. It was almost

In the towns of Greece, there was a certain gray eyed, black haired boy named Tornado. What no one knew, was that he would grow up to treacherous things. Tornado was troubled as a young boy, with his father never home and his mother lying in her grave, he was depressed and lonely. He would go to school to find, his classmates either teasing, or harassing him and using him like a toy. His world started to slowly fall apart, and with Tornado being alone, he grew angry. Over the next few years of his

I Don't Want To Cry It was lunch time and I had a huge smile on my face, it was chilly, and gloomy outside but my smile didn't go away. I swung open the double doors, and aroma of the different food build up, surrounding my nose, freedom at last. We had a mile next period and I loved the mile, in general I love running. I put my binders down and sat down with my friends. We talked about the mile, and other things that happened in school. My friends were always there when I need them. We continued

Guitars were strumming. Vendors were yelling. Voices were singing. You probably do not know what those three things have in common. You may have a rough idea, but not anything about where it was, or what happened there. Here is what I think about when given these three ideas: a Luke Bryan concert at Wrigley Field. Many people groan at the thought of country music, however many others, along with artists, love the sound of country music. As Maren Morris beautifully serenades in her hit,"My Church"

Anthony and his brother drew stared at the mysterious house as they took steps slowly toward the door. They rang the doorbell and a tall dark and handsome male named Derek much taller than Anthony about 6’4” with streaked brown hair, and muddy blue eyes stared down at them with an excited face, and welcomed them in. They followed Derek down the dim lighted hallway into a colorful loud room with a dj and crowd of dancing people. Drew is well informed and so when he knows there will be trouble he brings

I woke up to the irritating ring of my alarm, the smell of French toast lingering through the air, and the feeling of a spider crawling up my arm. It started out like any other day, but I was wired from the second I woke up, hoping this day would be one to remember. I set my alarm earlier than normal that morning so that I could relax in a hot shower. My sisters beat me to the punch, however, and my shower, per usual, was frigid. I hoped it wasn’t an omen for how my day would proceed, but my watering

“Sorry about that,” he muttered under his breath. Edward slowly dragged the body towards the door, extracted the keys from the corpse, and shoved it to the side. He systematically tried all the keys that belonged to the guard and let out a quiet sigh of relief when he heard a light snap from the lock. He was free after months of misery. He began to weep with joy but ceased almost immediately. Those tears would be saved for a different date. Now was the time for his revenge. He whispered to himself

Do people deserve a 2nd chance? It was the 3rd game of the 2016 basketball season and the new rookie, Billy Bull, is given the ball. There is five seconds left in the game and it is all tied up. The other team gets the ball and takes it down the court and makes a 3 pointer. With 2 seconds left, Billy gets the ball in attempt to make the game winning shot, but he misses! What would happen now? The crowd was extremely upset with Billy and disappointed in his performance. Not to mention Coach was extremely

It was the last day of tenth grade at Cathedral High School. My classmates and I were all packed at the front of the classroom waiting to get out of the door. My twin sister Claire and I were squished together at the very front. The bell had already rung for the next period, but we were hesitant to open the door because we knew as soon as we did, a swarm of seventh graders would soak us with water guns. Still, our classroom was fully prepared with Silly String for our counterattack. That whole year

Screams. That’s all I could hear when everything went black. I do not know how, but I am currently lying on the frigid damp asphalt. I hear familiar voices in the distance, and the voices are full of dismay. I recognize the voices as Anastasia’s and my parents. I have an abundant amount of unanswered questions. Why is everyone terror-stricken? How did I get here? Why am I unable to move? The next thing I know I hear what sounds like a heart rate monitor beeping in the distance. Although everything
